cleaning inside brass

bikenjam · March 7, 2006, 07:08 PM

I've run into a situation when prepping my 223 brass. After i debur the case mouth and debur the flash hole, i end up with a lot of shavings inside each case that are stuck in side. Other than digging around with a stick or something similar, has someone found a good way of cleaning the inside out?

thanks

Yeah. Load it and shoot it.

You could always get one of those cans of air duster they use for computers just keep it away from the kids????

I don't believe that there is a need to remove the dirt or shavings from inside the brass. Unless you are adding several grains of shavings

, I havn't found this to be a problem.

I use compressed air sometimes, the rest of the time I simply tap them against the bench and knock out most all of it. Load and shoot them, it is only going to happen one time unless you trim a lot more often than I do.

I would agree with Russ.

Use a can of Air Dust or a compressor, and blow out the shavings.
